Trying to pull the impeller off an olf Kabota snow blower.

[CalG]

Four foot front mount unit. B222A. I'm sure the unit is from one of the Canadien outfits. The parts list shows a keyed shaft (1 3/16) with a bolt threaded through the impeller cap into threads in the center of the mounting shaft.

For love nor money, I can't get it to budge.
Got out the air hammer, and the smoke wrench, Nothing!

I've got some of the back side loose, but not all, as the bevel drive gear won't budge either. Same treatment with smoke wrench and long pry bars. The drive gear is keyed with a pair of set screws. Those are out, and spray oil in.
I've got all the shaft lock collars that I can see free.

Exhausted myself trying this afternoon. So now it's just sitting out there, glaring at me, defiant!

What to try tomorrow?

I had to make a puller to get my impeller off. I had to drill and tap the impeller to get the puller to attach to it.

I missed something. Is the bolt out of the end of it? If so heat is the only thing I know plus getting a decent hold on it. Good luck

If it doesn’t cause an imbalance running a bead of weld on the OD of the hub is instant heat that helps break rust.
